“Gianni Infantino thinks he’s Jesus,” Alan Brazil calls for the FIFA president’s resignation.

The former Scottish international, Alan Brazil, reacted to the controversial project led by Gianni Infantino aimed at opening up certain FIFA competitions to private investors, particularly through the sale of minority stakes related to the World Cup. In light of the numerous oppositions expressed by several confederations, this initiative has ultimately been put on hold. A decision that has prompted reactions from its critics, including Alan Brazil.

“He has to go. He thinks he’s Jesus,” said the former Manchester United player on talkSPORT, believing that the FIFA president sees himself as “untouchable.” “He has shown his true face,” he added. Alan Brazil is not the only former football great calling for a change at the helm of the global body. Real Madrid and Portugal legend, Luis Figo, has also urged Gianni Infantino to resign from his position as FIFA president.
